Title: Speed boat from Foam board
Post by: coolpratheesh on November 04, 2012, 11:22:35 AM
This is my second try at building a boat. I had all the help from our beloved boat expert Roopeshji. I even visited him a few time at his place to finish off the final stages of assembly.

Following is a short photo log of my build.


I have use 3 mm foam board for the hull and 5 mm board for the top, keel and the transom.
